Over many years Shimano has developed rods for all types of fishing. These rods are tested over and over again by our product developers and ambassadors, to get the perfect blank actions, balance, responsiveness and strength. To achieve the perfect construction of a rod, SHIMANO has developed many rod technologies. Not only are these technologies important to catch more fish, but they also improve your overall fishing expierence.
So let's explain more about the benefits of having a perfect blank construction. When fishing accuracy, strength and casting distance of a rod are important to target any (specific) species. This is because we all know that fish love to hide or want to search for food at specific spots. For this reason, you want to present your lure or bait exactly at the right spot and at the right moment! To hit those specific spots, you want to cast the distance you'll need and also as accurately as possible. By having a direct feel from the handle to the tip of a rod, that is exactly what you will be doing. Then, if after a great strike a fish is hooked, you need the additional strength of a rod whilst playing your dream catch!
Blank Construction
Many Shimano rods make use of exclusive carbon technology to achieve lighter, stronger, more responsive rods. This delivers improved performance, which leads to more enjoyment, and ultimately more fish. Two of the main technologies are Spiral X and Spiral X Core construction.
